Planned Parenthood is heralding the 50th anniversary of a Supreme Court decision protecting birth control and opening the door to abortion by calling for expanded access to contraception.
The nationwide organization, which is partially funded by taxpayers to provide women healthcare, birth control and abortion, said the court decision, Griswold v. Connecticut, “provided the first constitutional protection for birth control and paved the way for where we are today, when 99 percent of American women between the ages of 15 and 44 who are sexually active have used birth control at some time in their lives.”
